Why do the worst drivers buy Mustangs and do stupid shit all the time and I mean no disrespect to those two people who died but come on man. Save that shit for the track!

Young guys - sad. At least they didn't take anyone else with them.

And now my insensitive comments:

- those euro tail lights, though!
- tech pack values just went up

Very sad, especially for the passenger who had no control of the situation.

Not euro tail lights. The light covers are ripped off.

Sad. May they rest in peace and prayers for their families...

I wonder if they weren't wearing their seat belts. The car looks pretty intact from the roll over and looks like it could've been survivable.

Regardless, RIP and as others said thoughts to their families for their loss.

Probably a high-level neck injury given the corner damage on the car and that it landed on all fours... not uncommon. Seat belts don't help much in those, but HANS devices do.

Just goes to show that 526hp ain't meant for everyone...

I just hope this wasn't dad's car and they were out joyriding. That dad would probably be sick.

Could be, its hard to know without more information.

Keep in mind it does not take a 526 HP car to roll a car or have a horrible accident. People die in Prius accidents too. An accident is more likely with an inexperienced driver no matter what kind of car they drive. Not saying us old farts don't also have accidents. There are some accidents you simply can't avoid.

Very true, but things happen a lot faster in higher HP RWD cars and exacerbate said inexperience.

Sad to see. RIP

If you're looking for a statistic... I'm pretty sure that young men combined with fun cars increases the instances that they "use"that fun and are operating above a certain safety margin..that margin being where bad things can happen to any car or driver. Short version - people drive fun cars in a fun way, more frequently.

All GT350 insurance premiums just went up

You know what I found odd? The insurance on my GT350 was 1500 per year. My Hellcat is 1000 per year. You would think that a car with 180 more HP would have higher rates. It must have to do with the accident rate. Perhaps insurance companies look at a GT350 as just another Mustang? They sure do not charge the same. My 16 GT was 1000 bucks and it went up 500 per year when I purchased a 17 GT350.

The town where this happened is just 40 miles away from where I live. A local guy sold his black gt350 about a month ago....I'd be willing to bet this was it
